Public, Private, and Hybrid Cloud Communications

In business, as in nature, no two clouds are identical. Fortunately, there’s a whole continuum of deployment options available to fit your goals and your budget, whether you’re looking to move your applications into the public cloud, build your own private cloud or create a hybrid between the two. With flexibility like that, it’s no wonder so many businesses are migrating to cloud communications.

Public cloud

The advantages of a public cloud platform can be summed up in three words: simplicity, scale and savings. It’s simple to manage because all of the hardware and software is managed by your cloud provider. It scales up or down as your needs change. And it saves you money in opex, capex and excess capacity for peak demand periods.

Private cloud

When security trumps savings, it’s time to think about a private cloud. A private cloud can leverage virtualization and converged infrastructure for cloud-like scale and efficiency, but in a private, dedicated system within your own data center. The protected nature of a private cloud provides an extra layer of security and control to meet industry-specific compliance requirements.

Hybrid cloud

A hybrid cloud can provide the best of both worlds: security with scalability, less complexity with more control. With a hybrid cloud deployment, you can find the perfect balance of public and private clouds to meet your needs. It can also provide a convenient path to migration if your rip and replace isn’t realistic across your entire business all at once.

How it all works

With MiCloud, you get a business phone system that just works, but for those of you interested in what’s under the hood, let’s break it down. The brains of the system reside in our geo-redundant data centers and continue to provide service even in the rare event one goes down. Information and voice calls securely traverse the public Internet to reach their final destination using voice over Internet protocols (VoIP). Employees enjoy the same communications functionality regardless of whether they’re are in an office, on the road, or working from home.
